| The two concepts I explored were: 1. Technology, through the example of the railroads built , and 2. Power, through the way the Canadian government set up the racist tax system to discourage Chinese from coming to Canada.\ |
Remember, you are commenting on the situation from the Cartier cross erecting painting. Please see your assignment sheet for more details. If you do not have this, please look in the blue hanging file folder, under HISTORY, to find the handout.
The last item that you will need to see on the blog relates to a short quiz you have today. It is based on one of the definitions listed below. There is only 1 question you have to answer.
